Okay, so I'm a little behind on my postings! We have had a busy summer, and still have a few things on the agenda. Two weeks ago Blair's Paw Paw treated us to a nice little vacation to Seacrest Beach. We met them and the cousins down there, and had a wonderful time. The Verdigets' beach trip is an annual thing that we do every year. It is so neat to see how the kids change so quickly from year to year. Last year, Blair was in my belly and Gina was convinced it was a boy. Harper was just learning to crawl last year, and as for Harrison, he has turned into such a swimmer in a year's time and is all over the pool! We were not there long enough (never are in my opinion), but we were able to squeeze a few visits in with some friends who were vacationing in the area as well.
Early in the trip, Blair got to meet up with her good buddy Katherine. We made a pit stop at their place on our way to Acme Oyster House. It was bedtime for both of these cuties, but we did manage to make them suffer through a quick photo shoot.
Also in town for the week, were the Ackel's. Jeff and Carrie rented a nice home in our neighborhood so they could be there the same time we were. I managed to chase little Harris around the beach so I could grab some beach shots of him. Isn't he to die for? I'd like to call him Mr. Eyelashes.
Now on to the cousins. It was so nice having all three kids together. We live too far away at times (not far enough at times either, JASON (wink wink)), and we really want the kids to grow up knowing one another. The main thing on our agenda was to get some beach shots of the kids. With a 5 year old, an almost 2 year old, and a six month old ; it was almost impossible! I have to say Harrison was the angel of the group, and he just sat there like a poor statue while we tried to get the girls to cooperate. Oh well, he got some ice cream when it was all said and done! Shhhh!!!
It was such a nice trip, and we look forward to next year's annual beach trip. We really appreciate all Paw Paw and Gina did to make this a special vacation. Paw Paw came with a load of toys (could have left the noodles at home as far I'm concerned), and Gina came with coolers full of food! If you've never had her roast beef po' boys, then you are missing out! Didn't do much for my waist line, but life's too short, huh? But anyway, thanks so much for taking care of us and we can't wait to see all of you soon!

Oh Blair just makes my day. Are you going to any Auburn games this year? (you went to Auburn, right? Did I make that up?) OK for the sippie cup, the easiest transition one I have found from the bottle are the Nuk ones (the one he's holding) from Target. I have a blue and red one and those are the only ones he can figure out how to drink out of. The nipple is really soft and squishy like a bottle and he hardly spills any out the side of his mouth (always a problem with the bottle, such a messy kid that one). They are really easy to warm up too since they pop right out of the handle thingies. They are my FAVORITE, and I've only seen them at Target. Let me know how she likes it!!!
